BEST BREEDS.

"The most profitable breed Of
Houltry is the most popular one. No
matter how large or handsome, or what
grand egg records they have made, if
they are not the fowl that is on the
top wave of popularity it will be inn
possible to realize the greatest profits
from them. It was not the innate
excellence Of trio Of Plymouth Rocks
that made them bring one hundred
Hollars, nor the intrinsic value of a
Sitting of eggs from Partridge Cochins
that made them sell for twenty-five
dollars, but their popularity. No
doubt the purchasers of these fancy
priced birds and eggs made money by
\heir investments, but it was not by
sblling eggs at six cents per dozen nor
chicks at bit apiece. They struck
While the iron was hot, and while the
craze ran in that particular channel.
We cannot all be fancy breeders, how
eyer, and the next best thing to do is
td do the best we can. Have speciality
and stick to it. If it be eggs, get the
bkst egg producers the country affords;
f broilers, the earliest maturing birds,
or if dressed poultry be the aim, get
some of the large breeds. The one
point we insist upon is, keep nothing
but pure-bred fowls, let the breed be
what it may Select only the best for
breeders. Let your standard of ex-
cellence be high and breed to it. One
with a pen of pure birds can always
sell a few, at least, at fancy prices
besides there is no advantage what
ever in keeping up a flock of mongrels.

THE CHINCH BUG.
The Way to Destroy It.

We gave, last week, the remedy, and
the testimony of Maj. R. S. Tucker,
of this city. as to it's efficacy, having
saved forty acre field of corn with
it. And from a special Bulletin Of
the Agricultural Department we see
that Prof. Atkinson, of the University,
has tried it with equally happy results.
He says
"Mr William F. Stroud, of Chapel
Hill, had field of wheat, which was
infested with the Chinch Bugs When
the wheat was harvested, they imme-
diately betook themselves to the corn,
which was adjacent. Some of the corn
stalks, for foot or eighteen inches
above ground, were literally black
with the mass of insects, and some
times, when they could not be seen
outside, they were found in great num-
bers between the sheath of the blade
and the stalk"
We repeat the remedy, and ask our
readers to try it and report results to
the PROGRESSIVE FARMER:
Dissolve one-half pound common
soap in one gallon of water. Boil it,
and while boiling hot, pour it into two
gallons Of kerosine OIL Churn it and
stir and beat it until Thoroughly maioed.
1t should be thoroughly mared. Put
one part of this to six parts of cold
water and sprinkle or spray the bugs
by using common tin water sprink-
ler, which you can get at any tin shop.
Try it at once. Cut this out and keep
it where you can see it, when needed.

SWARD-BOUND MEADOWS.

The complaint of meadows in this
condition is very common one and
comes oftenest from neglect. Let all
stock be kept off the meadows in the
fall and spring. Economic manures

Acme harrow for this business It is
surprising to watch the results, and
the increase of the manure pile from
year to year where THIS method is in
practice. One thing hy experience
has brought to proftab1e> use is the
point that money spent on concen-
trated feed is more proftably invested
than in commercial fertilizers. Be-
sides increasing the milk and butter
and keeping the stock in slick con-
dition, the value of the manure pile
and fertility Of meadow are greatly in
creased, and the farmer receives credit
for being a successful workers.. j.

SELECTING A STALLION.

When selecting stallion look first
carefully at his head. The nostrils
should be large see that the eyes are
full and bright, good breadth between
the eyes, ears shora and tapering, these
indicate a gentle disposition. In a
horse of this kind with proper train
ing you can mould and bring every
muscle under your control. The loin
should be strong, the back we'll
coupled, quarters long from point to
point of hips. He should also be
sound in wind and limb. A horse
that is driven about and hurried from
Iplace to place, perhaps over-heated
and made to cover from four to six
mares day should be regarded as un-
safe. The colt will lack vitality. [
have often heard persons speak of
tending stallion as being a low busi-
ness. This is mistake, for the man
who will give his time and energy to
the self-sacrifcing business Of improv
ing the stock of horses in any of it's
branches deserves the respect of the
intelligent people. There is no voca-
ton in which man is engaged but
what this animal is used to further his
purpose. M. ALEXANDER, in Farm
and Honee

ORGANIZE. { c)

Farmers should organize for their
common good These organizations
are the best means for the discussion
of topics appertaining to agriculture,
as we'll as the dissemination of infor-
nation relative to the most approved
methods in all kinds of farm work,
such as the culture of special crops,
making composts and saving stable
1nanures. Let the farmers of the
various counties organize, hold insti-
tutes and, if possible, add cattle and
butter fairs, and exhibits of grain and
grasses in the sheaf. These are mex
pensive, but interesting and valuable
in stimulating local effort, and much
good results.
The revised laws governing the De-
partment of Agriculture limit its ex-
penditures to the minimum, which
prevents extending financial aid, but
provides that the Commissioner, or
pther officer, "shall cooperate and aid

LATE SUMMER CROPS.

In addition to peas there are few
other crops whose planting may still
continue, success being dependent
more upon seasons. It should be
remembered that late-planted crops
require rich soil amp deep preparation.
Forage crops Of corn, millet, sorghum,
etc., may still be made, but will not
amount to much without good ground,
good preparation and reasonable sea-
sons. If such paintings be made and
the plants started off in July, the
August rains are frequently sufficient
to mature fine yields. We have had
fine success with cat-tail millet shown
even so late as August lst. The best
potatoes for keeping, as we'll as for
planting next spring, are made from
vines set out in well-plowed,. good soil
throughout the month Of July. those
planted early in the month often ma
king as large tubers as may be de-
sired, and the later, sufficiently large
for ordinary use and for seed. There
is no doubt of the fact that later plant
ings produce better keepers, and they
are much cheaper. as they make with
much less labor. Paintings of cut
tings on wheat, barley or rye lots are
almost certain Of good yield of
smooth, fair-sized potatoes at very
small expense of labor. Very late
paintings should be in closer rows and
the beds not thrown up SO high
